Bitten 18 and Over Giveaway Hop

I'm giving away a $15 Amazon gift card (hopefully to be used for
something fun) and a ebook copy of any of my backlist to one lucky
winner. Leave me a comment and your email address.

Let's chat sex toys, shall we?
I want to tell you a story about a younger, and more easily embarrassed Lea. When I was first married, at the whopping age of 21, I thought I would get something fun for my hubby and I. So, off I tromped to the local sex shop. The moment I walked in I knew I was in for an experience. The lighting was dulled, not for mood enhancement, but by the layers of crud and cigarette smoke on the suspended fluorescent lights. What little I could see of the store in the yellow light was scary at best. Blowup dolls and mannequins with ill fitting and horrible costumes, and movies with more cock than a bus of football players stared back at me from poorly constructed shelving. The guy behind the counter was smarmy with greased back black hair and nothing but a vest to cover his furry chest. I was horrified to say the least. After about 23 seconds I turned around and left, never to walk into another sex shop again.

So, what did that experience teach me? I figured out quickly that I could buy anything I wanted on line with a few clicks and NO one was the wiser. AND... there are so many awesome toys out there now. With the growth of the internet the sales of sex toys has grown in leaps and bounds. No longer are you relegated to walking into a porn shop to buy a dildo, you can go to Amazon or any other sex storefront online and peruse hundreds of varieties. And, oh, the options out there. When I first started researching I was blown away by the number of colors, functions, etc.. It just amazes me.

I know as an author I don't include too many forms of playthings in my writing, but that doesn't mean I don't thoroughly enjoy toys in my personal life and in my reading. One of my favorite stories involving sex toys is Solo Play by Miranda Baker. Also, if you like to read BDSM stories, Cherise Sinclair includes lots of toy fun in the Masters of Shadowlands series. The only story I've written so far that uses anything fun and plastic is Valentine Master.

Here's an excerpt from Valentine Master:

She gasped as she felt his fingers slide up and down her folds. Finally. He ran a finger around her clit and down to her opening, spreading her wetness up her slit. She felt something cold and hard being placed above her clit and mentally cringed. He had her butterfly. How was she supposed to hold in an orgasm if he had that little toy? Her musing flew out of her mind with the first hint of a buzz as the little vibrator started its sensual torture. She moaned, low and long, as her clit hardened immediately. Every inch of relaxation she had gained in the last few minutes was gone. She was on the edge again so quickly it almost hurt.
“Please, Mick. I need to come,” she pleaded, rolling her head back and forth on the pillow. She tried to move away from the toy and when she couldn’t she felt the need spiral higher. “Oh please, Sir.”
She felt the bed dip close to her head before hearing the soft words, floating along with the ocean waves, his breath warm and moist on her cheek. “Not yet, pet. You need to wait. You come when I tell you to.”
Okay, you can do this, she coached herself. She took a few deep breaths and forced her muscles to relax. She dug her fingers into her palm for a little pain and that helped to bring her back from the edge. She didn’t like this game anymore, she decided, but then again how would she know if she liked it if she didn’t play it all the way to the end?
After a minute or ten she felt more in control. She was still stimulated by the vibrations on her clit, but she could think again. She breathed out a sigh. He would let her come soon, she knew it. He never held back his own needs for long once she was wet. He would mount her soon and she would be able to come.
A wet tongue brought her out of her thoughts as it swiped across one of her pinched nipples. Her back arched of its own accord, thrusting her breasts up to beg for attention. The tug of the other clamp shot her back to the edge and she had to grit her teeth to not go over the edge and come right then. She panted with the effort of controlling her body’s reaction.

Anyway, I'm giving away a $15 Amazon gift card (hopefully to be used for something fun) and a ebook copy of any of my backlist to one lucky winner. Leave me a comment and your email address.

That sounds like a terrifying experience (the sexy shop)!The place I visited was super nice....and did not have harry dudes in vests. More like college chicks in jeans LOL Still you gotta love the internet! Thanks for this fantastic giveaway bookedandloaded(at)gmail(dot)com

I, too, was scared of sex shops when I was younger. They were seedy and dirty. I just ventured into my first in almost twenty years last month and was shocked by the difference. I do love the internet though. Thanks for the great giveaway!

I'm lucky to live in an area with lots of women-friendly shops (though the only one with a decent DVD selection is one of the scary old-school types), but I do end up online a lot of the time. Thanks for the giveaway!

Lucky enough that,after hearing about from friends, the local adult toy store has a woman's only night out once a month and it varies what day and time... and there is always a bulky guy at the door making sure that women (to deter any men-liked it during the summer, yum-sorry off topic)only get inside during that time :)I just recently discovered that amazon has some toys too...:) Great Giveaway BeckeyWhiteATgmailDOTcomBeckey

Sounds like a horrible experience, I bought my first "toy" after I a had been married for 15 years and I went to a "slumber party" I love the picture of the nipple clips did you find those on amazon? Thanks for a great giveaway, I loved your excerpt, Carinmawmom at gmail dot com

The funniest story I have about a sex shop is when my mom and I were shopping and she wanted to go to this new store. Neither one of us know it was a sex shop! We actually had quite a laugh about it after we got passed the embarrassement! LOL! Thanks for the giveaway!

I was 19 when I went to my first Adult Toy store and it was quite an education. It was also dark and questionable. My husband and I now frequent a larger store that has full lighting, lots of space, and many couples looking for something fun.
